How do you turn on the bed lights? [FIXED]

[aldo98229]

I figured out the problem was when they did the bedliner they put the lights in on the wrong sides. I would not think it makes a difference but it does. As soon as I put them in the right side they worked.

Sure enough, swapped the lights from one side to other and they now work!!!

Oracle 60" LED Bed Light Strips cut to length & mounted on the bottom surface of the mount rails for my Roll N Lock.
Switched using one of the OEM factory auxiliary dash switches.
Much more usable light.... problem solved.

And.......another project has been added to the list! Looks FANTASTIC!!!!

Yep, I did the same thing. I have them tied to the bed light circuit. With Tazer, pressing unlock 3 times makes them stay on for (up to) 30 minutes. Works perfectly for night loading/unloading or even daytime use when I don't want to roll the tonneau cover back.

Yes, this forum in general can be a dangerous rabbit hole to dive into.
So many things posted in threads here that I didn't know that I "needed".
Glad I could help add to your list!

And for less expensive and honestly (I've had not the best luck with a couple of different Oracle products) better quality check out this cheaper option.

I should have mentioned that with mine. Mine are those exact same ones from nilight and have been working great.

My JT came with the bed LED lights. They were working when I got the truck. They sprayed on the bedliner a few days ago; the lights don't come on anymore.

I read somewhere that I had to push the light to turn them on. I tried that; the lights don't do squat.

So how do you turn on the stupid lights?

If the following doesn't work, take it back to where you had the work done.

This looks great!! Good coverage for the bed.

Do you wire to the battery?

Since these don't seem to draw much current, I have them running off the bed light circuit. I'm working on some rock lights that I will be using as courtesy lighting that will also be off the bed light circuit but they will be wired through a relay.

Tapped into the wire?
